Ingredients
- 4 large avocados
- 2 medium limes 4 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- To cut avocado, slice in half lengthwise and twist both halves to open. Gently tap your chef's knife into the pit and twist.
- Scoop out avocado with a tablespoon and transfer to a medium bowl. If avocado is on a harder side, cut in big chunks right inside the half and attached to the skin first.
- Mash using a potato masher (my favorite) or fork until desired consistency. We like chunky.
- To squeeze lime juice, roll limes on a cutting board first and then cut in half and squeeze. This step helps to get more juice from citrus.
- Add lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt and stir gently. Adjust salt and anything else to taste.
- Serve as a dip with chips or as a side dish with your favorite Mexican recipes.

Notes
- Store: Place guacamole in a glass container with a lid, flatten with a spoon and do not close yet. Either place a sheet of plastic wrap and press on it to remove air bubbles. Or pour a thin layer of cold water. Then close tightly and refrigerate for 2 days. When ready to serve, remove either, stir and serve.
- Choose avocado with brown skin, firm but when pressed it gives in, and with a tip attached.
- Cilantro is optional. It is good but many times I make guac without it because i didn't have any on hand and it is still so good!
- Do not add too much salt if serving with chips. And you can always adjust to taste later.
